When I'm drinking tea with milk & sugar, I leave the bag in for longer than I do otherwise. The milk just overpowers the tea if it's weak. Same principle with respect to folks calling Peet's coffee "bitter": You've gotta burn the hell outta the beans to taste them after adding 37 other flavors, and Peet's doesn't have separate roasts for black and with-a-lotta-crap coffee drinkers.

i drink a lot of non-tea-y teas (like ginger tea or raspberry tea) and for those i like to leave the bag in for ages otherwise it's not flavorful enough. i always squish those. with green or black tea, squishing isn't really necessary after a few min.

Steeping less than six minute or so results in nervous-making tea. The first thing to be released into the water is the caffeine. After that, other compounds are released than actually smooth the edges of the rush.

Teabags are shit, though. Not enough in there. Loose tea, people!

In spite of everything, this thread has turned out to be a disappointment.

Well, DO something about it!

That's the sort of tea I *need* in the morning.
